Disabling Fable 5 and other models for foreigners is not a misunderstanding or a mistake, itโs the inevitable result of technology shaping warfare so that sovereignty is more about code than cannons.
With high energy costs and the emphasis on safety not opportunity Britainโs response has been to build the brake cutting ourselves off from the future and tied ourselves to the past.
We cannot continue like this and remain sovereign.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.
